Document Summary
Transport to a surface: so first we have to transport a bacteria to a certain surface, sedimentation allows bacteria to sit on the attachment surface, 2. Reversible attachment: this means that attachment can still be reversed at this step, this require too specific features, hydrophobicity of bacterium (some bacteria can enhance or diminish their surface hydrophobicity to manipulate their chances of attachment) If you do not have a specific hydrophilicity, then you cannot attach: presence of pili and/or flagella are used for attachment, with both these structures it will allow for irreversible attachment, 3. Maturation: this step is for forming more channels and pores, results in the development of intricate architecture, channels, pores, 5. Lux i) and will bind to a promoter to the. Some bacteria will use a cooperative process involving cytoskeleton rearrangement in the host cell: by doing this it can infect neighboring cell without having to leave the cell.
